Finally, I visited her resting place in Cambridge back in late October 2025. Cleaned the area and pulled some weeds. It’s been 40 years, and nobody can replace her. Always wonder what she would become if she were still alive.

Indeed, life is fleeting and precious. Many kudos to Rob for keeping the memories of Barbara Yung Mei Ling alive. You have gone beyond any of her former lovers and boyfriends by making such a meaningful contribution to society, sharing these beautiful memories, stories of your time with her, and insights into her childhood.

In the entertainment industry, many from her generation are gradually passing away due to age or illness—for instance, Benz Hui, one of the legendary supporting actors who appeared in several series with Barbara. It is always sad to see those we love on screen slowly fade from life.

Barbara Yung, however, remains a lasting legend. Even Gen Z continues to watch her series, which is remarkable. She has left an indelible mark on Asian entertainment. Rob, knowing the tremendous effort you’ve put into this, we hope you have appointed an alternate administrator to maintain your website. This way, your stories—and Barbara’s legacy—will never be forgotten or lost.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

Thank you for your encouraging comment.

Not only in the entertainment industry people who knew Barbara have passed away. Also some friends mentioned in my stories are not among us anymore. Bill died in the year 2000 and Steve left us this year.

I have not thought about my replacement yet, but I am hoping that one of Barbara's fans clubs will take over when it is time.

Youtube randomly recommended a short clip of her in Legend of the condor hero which made me think of her, and google search brough me here. What fascinating read! Troubled she was, her pictures, particularly of those taken in England were radiating. One is glad she seem to have had some good moments in the company of some great friends.

I was about 7 years old when she passed, so I could barely remember her, but I do recall she was extremely popular in Hong Kong that even those that went to English only international school (typically do not follow HK/Chinese entertainment) knew of her, and liked her.

I have read that she spoke with a Northern London accent. Does anyone know of a video clip? Really am curious what her accent is like in English. Google AI claimed she had some English speaking videos, but they were taken down because of copyrights. I surely hope someone would know of one and point me the right way.

My sincere thanks for compiling these memories and photographs of Barbara. I first came to know of her through the iconic TV series 射鵰英雄傳(The Legend of the Condor Heroes). Her performance was so perfect as if the role were made for her. She is truly legendary in the Chinese-speaking world. Though time moves on, our memories will keep her eternal. Hoping this website will last forever.

Hello Starfish, my basic problem is that Barbara's life covers so many different aspects of life which are all connected. For example the problems of children from first generation immigrants, the past of Barbara's mother, the influence of TVB and the social interactions within the entertainment world , the changes of Hong Kong during the seventies and eighties, the consequences of a suicide on the people who stay behind and many more items. I just haven't found a way to blend all these together in story that justifies Barbara's complicated and troubled life.

Hi Rob,

The stories you shared are very intriguing and touching. This bond between you and Barbara must be special and deep, which it's also for sure very rare. I feel that what happened between you two is a blessing for both of you. If she is still alive, she will probably agree as well.

Kind regards,
Starfish

Hi,ROb.thank you for your reply.I still have two questions
Q1.Where do you live now, in the Netherlands or in the UK? Or do you have to stay in the UK for a period of time every year.You and Barbara used to travel frequently to different countries in Europe
Q2.If I were to go to Barbara's grave to pay respects to her, when might I happen to meet you.A few years ago, you and a few Barbara fans visited the places she had been to before her death
Looking forward to your answer

Question to Rob:

I am at similar age range as you and Barbara. Hope you don't mind two personal questions:

1) If Barbara and her mom followed with you the time you came back Holland to attend University, would you two been married already?
2) Out of your past relationships including Barbara and your wife, is Barbara your true love?

Answer to question 1.
I don’t think so. I am against marriage. It is a principle of me. I can’t comprehend that the strong emotion of being in love, has to be confirmed by a contract.

Answer to question 2.
Barbara was my true love at the time. But when our relation finished I did what most people do, pick up the pieces and continue with my life, hoping to find a new love in time. And I did, after five years. And she is still my true love, even after the 39 years we been together (and still not married 😊).

Q 1.1 - if Barbara and her mom joined you to stay in Holland, do you think Barbara would have 39+ years of happy life with you today?

Toen Barbara overleed, was ik pas 10 jaar oud. Ze was een veelbelovende Hongkongse ster, en haar overlijden schokte heel Azië. Het was een groot verlies—een heldere ster die plotseling doofde, iets wat velen met verdriet en spijt vervulde.

Toevallig ontdekte ik de herdenkingswebsite die je voor Barbara hebt gemaakt, en het raakte me diep. Ik woon al jaren in Nederland en heb veel Aziatisch-Nederlandse relaties van dichtbij meegemaakt. Helaas eindigen zulke relaties vaak in boosheid en wrok. Maar jouw herinneringen aan Barbara zijn vol liefde en respect, en dat is ontroerend om te zien. Je hebt nu je eigen gezin en een dierbare partner, maar zoals men zegt: liefde vergaat nooit.

Dank je wel dat je Barbara op zo’n oprechte manier eert. Je geeft anderen de kans om haar te blijven herinneren en laat zien hoe liefde de grenzen van tijd en ruimte overstijgt. Ik wens je veel warmte en geluk in je leven, en moge deze kostbare herinnering voor altijd een licht in je hart blijven.

你好,bob。当我再次回看83版射雕英雄传时,发现翁美玲的演技和别的演员有着很大的不同,我不知道平时她的真实性格是怎样,但剧中她饰演的黄蓉,有着超越那个时代的真实性。剧中当郭靖和别的女孩在一起时,黄蓉会很难过和吃醋,看到翁美玲的微表情时,我甚至无法分辨这到底是剧中的角色还是真实生活中的映射。我想,生活中翁美玲的敏感,专一,渴望得到真诚爱情的想法在她所饰演角色的表情中也可以体现出来。从当时的情况来看,无论她留在香港还是英国,都急需一名心理医生,她的心理问题不是能靠自己解决的。在中国的视频平台B站上,我认识一名90万粉丝的主播,他的女朋友也是因为感情问题而闹着自杀,我觉得和翁美玲的情况很像很像,后来他们俩好像也分手了。最后,感谢你创建了这个网站,感谢你愿意和我们分享这么多翁美玲的故事。愿上帝保佑她。

Hello, Bob. When I reviewed the 1983 version of 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes', I noticed that the acting of Barbara was quite different from that of other actors. I don't know her real personality in life, but the role of Huang Rong she portrayed was very authentic beyond the era. When Guo Jing was with other girls in TV series, Huang Rong would get upset and jealous. Watching the microexpression of Barbara, I couldn't even tell whether it was a character in the show or a reflection of her real life. I thought that the sensitivity, emotional specificity, and desire for sincere love in her life could also be seen in the expressions of her roles. According to the actual fact, whether she stayed in Hong Kong or in the UK, she urgently needed a psychologist. Her mental issues could not be resolved by herself. On the Chinese video platform Bilibili, I know an anchor with 900,000 followers whose girlfriend also prepared to commit suicide due to emotional problems. I think it's very similar to the situation of Barbara, and later on, they seem to have broken up too. Finally, thank you for creating this website and sharing so many stories about Barbara with us. May God bless her.

Hello rob, this message should have been sent a few years ago. I don't know how to say hello for a while and I'm worried that my English is not good enough to express my meaning, so I haven't been able to do so for a long time. There may be some semantic differences. I hope you can feel my sincerity. I'm a movie fan of Barbara from China. I'm very happy and moved to see Barbara's past and memories on the website, and I'm also very moved by your persistence and dedication over the past years, so that we can have more understanding and feelings about Barbara. In this fast-food era, I know how hard it is to feel and pay. Time flies, and coincides with this season, which inevitably makes people ecstatic. I don't know what attitude I should take to face this extremely extraordinary day for me. Even thousands of words, I can't tell all my thoughts. There is no need to meet or know each other. When thoughts and feelings meet in the time and space of history, this moment is self-evident and sufficient to prove everything. And I know that at this moment, Barbara will feel our most sincere blessing! I wish you and your family happiness and peace and all the best. I should have come yesterday, but I'm sorry for the delay due to common affairs. Please forgive me.

For such, I appreciate your effort and understanding of your family. 36 years have passed, from a teenager transforms into a father. Her departure is still painful.

Thanks, Rob for sharing these stories of the early life of Barbara. I was a fan of her when I was 5 and is always intriguing to lose such a beautiful soul this early

With your side of story, it brings me closer to the REAL Barbara (Rather than what mainstream media portrayed her), it makes me feels I understand her more, who she was and what she was thinking. To be is still a beautiful story as I think she spent the happiest time with you in the college, Histon and London when you both still try to make it work to see each other despite the situation at the time. I am looking forward to hearing more stories if there are more updates and wish and your family good health and happiness during these times. All the best, Sam

7. There is a common western saying to describe such a status quo:”I love XXX; but I am no longer in love with him/her”. It is also the same status quo you have as you started your new life in Holland. You are in love with your family but you certainly still love Babara, which is why you are making this website and engaging with the readers. But it is another level of love and doesn’t reflect the reality or real life. It is higher than that. No one knows for sure what “Darling, I love you” means. It might not even refer to any particular person but a general reference.

6. I heard her mom wanted her to go back to Hong Kong so that it will help her completely forget about you. She also hoped to use a new environment in order to help heal her broken heart and start forgetting. A new environment can be absolutely disruptive in achieving such effect. The old days are fond and maybe even have left deep marks in heart, but going back is probably no longer a reality or even feasible. Her circle has changed and probably so does her mentality.

5. Or it would be you if her suicide was successful then. It is not about the boyfriends, careers or anyone else. A healthy strong person will be able to handle complicated situations and sustain. But she can’t…she is extremely fragile. The breakup with Ken and the work pressure are just triggers. Even she gets a commitment and gets married, something else could trigger it as long as the deep down issues are not resolved.

I personally think she has moved on with her life. There are great memories and maybe even heartbroken feelings, but it is a big life stage change to transform into a famous actress and a household name, which could also help her shift and make the memories fade or possibly feelings change.

I must say you are the key person in uncovering the root cause reason of her suicide, which would otherwise probably be buried forever. As the family and close relatives are not here to tell everything, no one else knows her prior serial suicidal attempts. Yes she has psychological issues left over from the childhood experience and needed help but not many people in that generations know this well like nowadays. That is the real reason made her committing suicide with her deep insecurities. It will happen to another boyfriend if she dated someone else not Ken at that time.

3. I was just around 10 and came back to my home town, I heard my cousins talking about watching The Condor Heros that night. They didn’t try to sell me anything, maybe they were even irritated that I am ignorant and haven’t heard of the TV episode. But somehow from their tone I sensed something unusual. When I watched the show I was instantly addicted. The show, the music is so extraordinary and it is like no other I have ever seen. I heard the actress has already committed suicide 2-3 years ago and her boyfriend Ken was a bad guy. So like everyone else we all blamed him for everything. This of course added more mystery to this show.

2. These couple of months I just watched The Legend of Condor Heros twice again. It is true I can’t stand watching any other versions of it. The actors are unprecedented in the 1983 version and no one else can ever compete for surpass. As all the memory of the 1980s and 1990s Hong Kong TVs and films resurge and how legendary the Hong Kong entertainment industry used to be, I really asked myself and have to admit there is really no film/TV before or ever after that will impact me as much as this one just like many other Chinese, even with all the Hollywood entertainment I have watched. The memory and impact have etched too deeply.

每年都会看一遍射雕英雄传,每次看到黄蓉的时候,想到翁美玲都会泪如雨下,1985年5月14日那天,翁美玲发生了什么事??我真的很想知道那天翁美玲发生了什么事?

记得孩童时每到暑假一定会坐在电视旁观看83版射雕,里面的黄蓉当时觉得好漂亮又机灵,心里真的很崇拜!现在,暑期带着十岁的儿子重新观赏83版射雕依然感觉经典,无出其右者,我相信经典之作永远也不会过时,里面的蓉儿也永远不会被遗忘!最后祝愿阿翁不管在天堂还是转世都一切安好,找到属于自己的幸福!
Rob, Thank you for your great effort in archiving Barbara's life for her fans

嘗聞道:演黃蓉者,以翁美玲為天下第一,世間無出其右。今日觀《鐵血丹心》於汝帖網,到黃蓉出場,卒之明白此說之所由。
的而且確,翁美玲版黃蓉係最好睇嘅黃蓉。

Roy Batty曰:「I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.」

人生如夢,幻象萬千。當年辭世,至今三十五年矣。

Songs to Rob,

How much of the past is hard to remember,
How many grudges have gone with the wind,
Obsessed with both worlds
Heaven and earth may meet again?

I can't forget this evening or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes,
You always smile, but in your eyes,
Your sorrow shows..............


When I think of all my sorrow
When I had you there but then I let you go
And now it's only fair that I should let you know
What you should know,
I can't live, living is without you...............

Let everything go with the wind...................

Your stories made me relieved-Barbara was once well loved, cared and appreciated by a man. I used to be heartbroken when I imagined how sad she must've felt when her love for someone went unappreciated-I also came through that. In that bad relationship uncertainty and insecurity used to drive me crazy. I used to think I was probably the most jealous person in the world and I must've had problems. Then I came out of that relationship and met my now husband. He treats me with respect, care and love. He's helped me find myself-now I'm confident, happy and successful.
Barbara's been my favourite star. I told my husband about her when we first met and hoped he could watch LOTCH with me since she was a part of my life. Since he is an westerner and it was hard to find Eng sub (didn't think to look for DVD-silly me), we didn't get to watch til this year (15 years later)! My hubby now understands why I like Barbara so much, and said she was "cute, interesting and adorable"! I was so happy!

许多人说BARBARA对我这代人来说已经太过时了。但每当我想起她的生命时,我都感到很难过,同时也会疑惑,为什么这样一个值得拥有幸福的人,会这样悲伤绝望地结束她的一生。没什么别的想说的了,我对BARBARA的祝愿和Rob一样,希望她现在不管在哪,都找到了属于自己的幸福 。

Many people say Barbara is too old-fashioned for my generation. But I feel sad every time I think about her life, wondering why someone who deserved a happy life ended up in such sadness and hopelessness. Nothing else to say, I hold the same wish for her as Rob, I hope wherever she is now she has owned her own happiness. :sigh:

also thanks to Rob, this is really a great website even for non-Barbara-fans like me.
也谢谢Rob :-)

無意間發現這個網站, 你離開的那年, 我還沒出生. 但是我看見黃蓉的時候就深深地被你打動了. 據説金庸先生對你贊許有嘉, 一眼就相中了你作爲黃蓉的最佳人選. 而你也是在生於70,80 時代的一代人心中唯一認定的黃蓉. 至今沒有任何人比你飾演的黃蓉更深入人心. 35年已去, 相信你已經轉世了. 一切安好.

蓉儿:今天是你的生日,只想遥祝天国的你生日快乐! 有人说,思念是沉寂下来的情怀,是夜里难以成寐的清醒,是有着慵懒阳光午后的神伤,是独行时的惆怅,是醉饮时的娇嗔,是明日复明日的渴望。而之于你,阿翁,你就是一转身挥袖而去时留下的那缕清香,好淡好纯,缭缭绕绕挥之不去,无需想起,又何从忘怀。
你离开那年我才7岁,从初见伊始,我并不知道,我会放不下你35年,或许更久,直到生命的终结吧。
我一直有着一个小小的愿望,就是可以去一趟英国,可以亲眼看看你的坟墓,可以亲手为你献上一束花……
  
在不远的将来,我坚信我一定会到遥远的英伦来看你,四十年、五十年……,我们这些翁迷们会一如既往地缅怀你、祭奠你,直至生命的终结。夜深了,人静了,对你的思念却久久不能平静,心中的伤痛稍稍有所缓和。人间没了你,思念和伤痛笼罩着我们。天堂没了你,上帝和天使将会哭泣。假如你重返人间,我们的生活将会更精彩!

Watched Legend of the Condor Heroes when in middle school. Barbara was the soul of the series. If there were were a perfect girl in the world it would have been her. Dreamed of having a gf like her. I’m sure I wasn’t alone.

Can’t believe it has been almost 40 years and she would have turned 61 in a few weeks. Can’t imagine what she would have been if she’s still alive. In my mind she is forever 24 and still the perfect girl from 37 years ago.

Thank you Rob for creating and maintaining this website.

Dear Rob,
I am a movie fan of Barbara from China and I am very glad you had enjoyed your wonderful memory for all the fans. Those memory just like happened yesterday. I believe she did not want to be such kind of life which made her suffering during 1982-1985 according to your story. We both wish she would be happy and joyful in heaven,don't we?
yours sincerely,
Billy, a friend from distant EAST
